The Roselli Hunter Knife is a classic Finnish hunting and wilderness knife built for hunters who want a strong, dependable blade for big game, field dressing, skinning, fishing, and general outdoor use.
First introduced in 1976, the Roselli Hunter was the design that helped establish the Roselli name. More than four decades later, its simple profile, forged carbon steel blade, and curly birch handle continue to make it a proven choice for hunters and outdoorsmen.
Originally developed with Finnish moose hunters in mind, this stout all-around hunting knife is particularly well suited for processing larger game while remaining compact enough for everyday field and camp work.
Built for Moose, Deer, and Big Game
The Roselli Hunter was originally designed to handle demanding hunting conditions in Finland.
Its blade shape provides the control needed for field dressing and skinning larger animals, including:
- Moose
- Deer
- Wild boar
- Other big game
- General hunting and camp tasks
The broad, practical blade profile makes it especially useful for skinning, where controlled slicing and dependable edge performance matter more than excessive blade length.
Forged Carbon Steel Blade
The 100 mm forged carbon steel blade is hardened to approximately 60 HRC, providing the sharpness and edge retention hunters need for repeated cutting in the field.
Carbon steel is known for its ability to take an extremely keen edge and maintain it through demanding work. That makes the Roselli Hunter well suited for hide, connective tissue, meat preparation, and general outdoor cutting.
As with other traditional carbon steel knives, proper care is important. Clean and dry the blade after use and protect it during storage to help prevent corrosion.
Curly Birch Handle
The handle is crafted from curly birch and treated with linseed oil.
This traditional Finnish handle material offers a warm, natural feel and a secure grip in the hand. The linseed oil treatment helps protect the wood while maintaining traction during wet or slippery field conditions.
Because curly birch is a natural material, grain, pattern, and color will vary from knife to knife, giving each Roselli Hunter its own character.
Handmade Finnish Leather Sheath
Each Roselli Hunter Knife includes a handcrafted sheath made from light vegetable-tanned Finnish leather.
The sheath protects the blade during transport and storage while providing a traditional field-ready carrying solution that complements the knife’s natural materials and Finnish craftsmanship.
A Proven All-Around Hunting Knife
The Roselli Hunter works well for:
- Field dressing game
- Skinning deer and big game
- Processing moose and wild boar
- Hunting camp food preparation
- Fishing and outdoor use
- Bushcraft and general wilderness tasks
- Hunters looking for a traditional Finnish knife
Its 4-inch-class blade keeps the knife manageable and precise while still providing enough cutting power for serious field work.
